Not exactly... Some libraries, when compiled/installed, don't remove older versions, and we can easily find different versions on /usr/local/lib/libsomething-x.x.x.la (_not_ symlinks, sure). Wiping this mess would be easier than trying to find different versions and removing the right files. Some libs are 4Mb-sized, and 4 of them do waste space in any HD. Thanks... :) Claudio
